EVH and BOSS have collaborated to present the SDE - 3000EVH Dual Digital Delay. This pedal authentically recreates the stereo delays that were the core of Eddie Van Halen’s epic live - stage guitar sound from his three - cabinet setup. Inspired by the vintage Roland SDE - 3000 rackmount delay, it combines two full - fledged SDE - 3000s into a single floor pedal. With its extensive connectivity, you can build a wet/dry/wet rig just like Eddie's. You'll also enjoy eight presets curated by EVH, using the exact settings from his actual delay units, enabling you to achieve the master's vast spatial delay tone in your own setup. Key features include: a special - edition pedal co - developed by EVH and BOSS; a design based on the 1980s legendary Roland SDE - 3000; eight EVH presets (locked but adjustable in output level); versatile connectivity for EVH - style rigs; a classic look with the EVH logo and stripes; a warm vintage digital delay sound with modern features; a retro display and controls; two full - featured delays with independent parameters; widely adjustable delay time; characterful modulation; phase switches; adjustable filters; send/return functionality; selectable impedance; selectable operation modes; 92 user memories; an adjustable noise suppressor; assignable footswitch control; jacks for extended operation; MIDI I/O; and three ground - lift cables. Specifications involve a 48 kHz sampling frequency, 24 - bit + AF AD conversion, 32 - bit DA conversion, 32 - bit floating - point processing, various effects, 100 memories, multiple controls, a 7 - segment 12 - digit LED display, different connectors, an AC power supply, 450 mA current draw, and it comes with an AC adaptor, startup guide, safety leaflet, and 4 rubber feet. Dimensions are 199 mm (W) × 135 mm (D) × 54 mm (H), and it weighs 1.1 kg / 7 oz.
Using the BOSS EVH SDE - 3000EVH Dual Digital Delay Guitar Effects Pedal is a breeze. First, connect it to your guitar setup using the appropriate connectors. You can use the input and output jacks to integrate it with your amplifier or other effects pedals. If you want to create an EVH - style wet/dry/wet rig, make use of the versatile connectivity options. To access Eddie Van Halen's signature sounds, simply select one of the eight EVH presets. Remember, these presets are locked internally, but you can adjust the output level. For customizing your own sounds, you have 92 user memories to save and recall. You can adjust various parameters like delay time, feedback, modulation, and filters using the control buttons on the pedal. The tap tempo function allows you to set the delay time based on the rhythm of your playing. Just use the assignable onboard footswitch. You can also connect additional footswitches, expression pedals, or a foot controller for extended operation. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedal clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're using it with multiple amplifiers, use the included ground - lift cables to eliminate hum. And always follow the safety instructions in the included leaflet. With proper use and care, this pedal will serve you well for a long time.
